A pivotal activity in protecting horseshoe crabs is the annual mating season survey. HarborLAB encourages our fellow volunteers, especially members of the Environmental Monitoring Crew, to go for this training, participate in a survey or (or more) and share your knowledge with other volunteers at our World Oceans Day event:
